There she sits in a dark corner where she weeps.
A beautiful girl, tears rolling down her cheeks.
She wonders why life hurts so much,
If She'll ever get over you leaving and such.
She feels all alone, surrounded by darkness,
with no way to get back to life.
Depressed and confused, anxious and worried,
Is there really an afterlife?
Was there anything she could have done
to take you out and have more fun?
Did you think that she didn't care?
She never would have left you there.
Your daughter cries, and misses her Daddy,
Always wonders why you died.
Why did you leave her, was she not enough?
But she keeps her feelings mostly inside.
We sit at your headstone, missing you tons
wishing we didn't have to be the ones.
Your daughter is so young, she needs a Daddy,
And oh, how she misses you so badly!
Its been 2 years now since you've been gone,
And we have been through a lot,
But the pain never goes away,
We can't untie the knot.
Our relationship was not very strong anymore,
Definitely not what it was before.
But yours with your daughter was stronger than ever,
And She'll always love you, always and forever.
I know you watch down on us everyday,
Missing you will never go away,
I know why you didn't just stay,
If you did, I wouldn't be who I am today.

- Comment from author about the poem: I wrote this poem for my Husband who committed suicide a little more than 2 years ago. Leaving me alone, with our beautiful 4 year old daughter. It was the hardest thing I have ever had to go through. Watching my baby girl grow up without her dad. He was an amazing father, and they adored each other!!!! But his depression got to the point where he didn't feel like there was any hope. I always wonder what else I could have done to keep him from drinking so much and taking pills, but there is no way to go back and change it. But going through the hard times has made me the strong woman I am today. And I have had the most beautiful strong daughter by my side the whole time. She pulled me out of my darkness. She saved me, and continues to do so. Anyway, thanks for reading! And if you ever feel like you need someone to talk to, if you are depressed, please, if you cant/ don\'t want to talk to anyone else, I will always listen.

Thank you Princess ~ Despite the tragedy of the subject ~ this is still a beautiful poem rippling with rhyme and rhythm. Thanks for sharing and I pray you found it cathartic. "But the pain never goes away ~ We can't untie the knot ~ Missing you will never go away". The same thing happened to a friend of mine recently leaving her with three teen children for her to raise on her own. She was inconsolable at first but with a lot of TLC and prayer she is coming to terms with the tragedy and seeking to rebuild her life. I can empathise and send my blessing and prayers to you and your lovely daughter. Thanks for having the courage to share. Yours BRIAN
I'm so sorry for your friend! It's such a heard thing for anyone to go through. I hope she is doing ok. The pain never goes away, but it gets easier to deal with. But will always be there. Thank you for your comment. Sending blessings your way as well! I hope you find all the happiness you can in life!
